ABOUT THE SONGS
The songs available above can span from our beginning in '92 until recent. Although bulletins will go out each time we change them, we recommend subscribing to our blog, so that you are sure to get the message. A description of each song follows:
Kitty Kitty live (2007) -- Originally from 17 Songs..., this was live at Blue Moon on Paseo, February 2nd, 2007. Listen closely to all the Buttonheads singing along. We only average a show about once a year, and only get one practice before a show. This has nothing to do with how sloppy we are; we have always sounded that way. Thanks to Russ Bonge for doing multi-track recordings at the show for us.
Me & My Dog / The World Came In (1997) -- Our eight minute epic about a dog on the lamb, ending with something like a line from T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men":
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
Dinosaur Mothership (1995) -- Here's one from 17 Cleverly... that we didn't perform live too often. It just wasn't the same without the sound effects at the end. The song, inspiring the front cover, is about an expected apocalypse for the human race. "I'm just a big-ass chicken nugget!"
She Imploded (1994) -- First song on the Stigmatogobius cassette. An odd ditty about death by black hole, on roller skates.
Hold My Head In (1994) -- This one is on Stigmatogobius. Check out these lyrics:
There I was, insects were crawling up my thing
and I think, I heard them calling me a thing
you don't think is really very nice. I mean
sometimes I don't think, but you know
sometimes I do think twice.
Killer of Time (1993) -- This is from the "White" EP. The cynical lyrics of this one takes me back to the anrgry, depressed feelings of grunge days. No wonder high-schooler's loved us so much.

HISTORY
Love Button first joined together in Oklahoma City in 1992, where they played a "Violent Femmes" style of folk punk on the streets of Deep Ellum in Dallas and Campus Corner in Norman, OK. For 6 years the band developed and changed in styles, growing a loyal following in the clubs of Norman and OKC, as well as playing in Austin, Dallas, Fayetteville(AK), Little Rock(AK), Springfield(MO), Wichita(KS), and Santa Fe(NM). They broke up in 1998, but returned for a reunion show in 2002. Because the frontman of the band, Dan Warren, lives in California, and the rest of the band remains based in the OKC area, they are only able to play a show every once in a while. They are currently working on a new album, containing many of the songs the band never had a chance to record during their final years together in the '90s. Their '95 CD release, 17 Cleverly Disguised Songs About Smack, has currently been re-released by Sprockett Records, at www.sprockettrecords.com, where you can listen to samples of all the songs.
